ROSEDALE
AVENUE is in East Camden, running south and east
from Westfield Avenue
to its end on North
36th Street, parallel to what were for many years railroad tracks that
began in the Pavonia rail switching yards and the proceeded through
Camden to Merchantville, Maple Shade and other points in Burlington
County. From 1938 though the late 1990s, some apartments in the
Westfield Acres public housing project carried a Rosedale Avenue
address. When
Westfield Acres was demolished and rebuilt as Baldwin's
Run. a short section north of Westfield
Avenue was designated Rosedale Avenue.

In
the 19th and early 20th Centuries, the neighborhood in Camden where
Rosedale Avenue runs, as well as that on the other side if the railroad
tracks and across Federal
Street, was known as Rosedale.

Do
you have an Rosedale Avenue memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it
can be included here.
